About Jay

In the past year, I have had many brides and grooms call me and say that they have talked to other wedding videographers and were told that their final product would be an 8-10 minute highlight film. These couples told me that they wanted more out of their wedding video.

My end product is much more than a highlight video.

I consider myself to be a documentary storyteller. My goal is to capture your memories for a lifetime. As you will see on my site, I create beautiful wedding highlight films. But your final product is much more than that. I document your special day in great detail. I don't do hourly packages. I cover your entire day until the end of your reception.

Many videographers will provide you only with the shots they choose to edit into the highlight film. I fully edit your wedding love story. Your completed wedding will be provided to you on a decorative wedding flash drive and as a shareable online link. The wedding videos will have a running time between 2 to 3.5 hours all fully edited.

I will gladly send you a link to previous weddings that I have produced. This is so important in choosing your wedding videographer. You will be able to see what your final product will look like. You can discuss with me what you would like in your wedding video.

You will spend months planning to make your wedding day memorable from choosing the flowers, decorations, photography, gowns and tuxes. Make your wedding video a cherished keepsake that lets you replay those memories for a lifetime.

Experience and passion in a wedding videographer is invaluable. I have produced more than 350 weddings. My bookings come from references from satisfied brides and grooms.

You will see the word “cinematic” advertised with many wedding videographers and their services. “Cinematic” is the latest buzzword in wedding videography, but what does it mean exactly? I believe to be truly cinematic… you must capture the wedding day in a style that is beautiful and elegantly executed.

One of my key selling points that I do not think you will find from other wedding videographers is that all my packages include all day coverage from at least 90 minutes prior to the beginning of your ceremony getting ready through the entire reception. I think it is vital to cover the day until the end of the reception. Through my experience, this is when the most fun of the evening occurs. You don’t want to miss out because your videographer was booked for a certain amount of hours.

A key to your wedding day is to make your day go as smoothly as possible. I work well with all the key players of the day: the photographer, the officiant, the deejay and the wedding planner. This is important to keep your wedding day stress-free.

I have worked professionally as a videographer, video producer, editor and university instructor of film and communications since 1983. I currently teach video production at Wheeling Central High School. I was the Director of Media for Ohio University Eastern for 33 years. I teach courses in film. Analyzing film develops a good eye for composition. I take great pride in making each wedding a unique cinematic film that is professionally shot and edited and of the highest quality. My experience enables me to produce a cinematic style wedding video production that will be valued and treasured. I am flexible and will work with you to make your final cinematic piece something that you both will treasure.

If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to call me at 304-281-3941. I am willing to do what it takes to make your day extra special. Suggestions or ideas for your wedding video production are welcomed. Each wedding is unique. Your thoughts are valued.
